Experimenting with 3 way colour correction on Final Cut Pro!

During editing I experimented with the different effects available on final cut. An effect which I found particularly useful in altering the filters to create a warmer filter

Filming problems - Harrison

The main problem thats faced us through the filming process was the issue of filming in a jewelarry shop, and outside one. After many failed attempts due to legal reasons surrounding the issue of filming a jewelarry shop, i finally was granted permission to film a jewellary shop in Haywards Heath.

To whom it may concern,
I am an A level media student enquiring wheather or not it would be possible to do a little bit of filming in your shop for our coursework. The filming would take no more then an hour and would require little to no co-orporation from staff.
Please get back to me on wheather or not this will be possible,
 
Thanks Harrison

This is the shop that have granted me acces to film their shop.

The inside of our jewelry 'shop'... - Claire.

We emailed several jewelry shops and even went to ask in person for permission to film inside their shops for our short film and we got rejected three times. It was becoming very clear to us that filming the inside of an actual jewelry shop wasn't going to happen because of the security regulations most jewelry shops have.

We then thought of cutting the scene and simply having a shot of a Jewelry shop sign, and the dog owner and Finley just walking into the shop and walking out again. This was a possibility, however we wanted emphasis that the dog owner was buying an engagement ring and it would have been harder to have focus on this if we didn't have a seen where we see him choosing the 'perfect' ring.

The only thing I didn't have however were the 

blue, velvety style boxes which engagement rings and expensive looking jewelry typically comes in, so I ordered a bulk load (for a low price) a bulk load of ring, earring and necklace boxes.










Here are some pictures of the individual boxes of jewerly -

When laid out and positioned on the glass it looked exactly like necklaces, earrings and rings on a glass cabinet inside a real jewelry shop.
